MESURE: Avis de proposition de réglementation (NPRM)  
 
RÉSUMÉ:  La NHTSA a publié en décembre 2004 une règle finale portant modification de la norme 
fédérale de sécurité concernant les véhicules auto mobiles relativement aux flexibles de freins.  Au 
début de 2005, cet organisme a reçu plusieurs dema ndes de réexamen de la règle et une demande de 
report de la date d'entrée en vigueur de la règle fi nale.  La règle doit mainte nant prendre effet le 20 
décembre 2007.  Le texte notifié, conjugué à une règl e finale parallèle, à des modifications techniques 
et aux mesures prises en réponse aux demandes présentées, s'emploie à résoudre les problèmes 
soulevés dans les demandes reçues en réaction à la  règle finale de décembre 2004, qui actualisait 
ladite norme fédérale de sécurité , ainsi que dans une demande d'él aboration de règles connexe.  La 
NHTSA avait incorporé dans ladite règle les vers ions actualisées des spécifications fondamentales de 
plusieurs recommandations de la Society of Automotive Engineers  (SAE) relatives aux flexibles de 
freins hydrauliques, aux flexibles de freins à dépressi on, aux flexibles de freins à air comprimé, aux 
tuyauteries de freins à air comprimé en matière plastique et aux raccords d'extrémité.  Dans l'avis de proposition de réglementation notifié , la NHTSA donne suite à quelques-unes des questions soulevées 
dans les demandes présentées en proposant un certain nombre de modifications à la règle sur les 
flexibles de freins.  Dans le document parallèle, la NHTSA rejette plusieurs des demandes et corrige 
aussi des erreurs typographiques et des omissions involontaires dans la règle finale du 20 décembre 
2004.
 
 DATES: La date limite pour la réception des observations est fixée au 10 décembre 2007.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE 
Germany donates 1 million euros to WTO technical assistance 
The German Government made, on 25 July 2005, a contribution of 1 million euros (CHF 
1,544,000) to the Doha Development Agenda Global Trust Fund. This donation will finance WTO 
technical assistance activities.  
Dr Supachai Panitchpakdi, Director-General of the WTO, said: "I thank Germany for its 
considerable and regular contributions to the Doha Fund. Germany's generosity plays an important role towards enhancing countries' participation in the Doha round of negotiations. Technical 
assistance is an essential tool to train developing countries' representatives and demand for it is 
high."  
With this new pledge, the contribution of Germany to the Doha Trust Fund since 2001 amounts to 
nearly CHF 6 million. The Doha Development Agenda Global Trust Fund was created following the WTO Ministerial Conference in Doha, in November 2001, which launched a new round of 
negotiations.

TITLE:  Control of Emissions From New Marine  Compression-Ignition Engines at or Above 30 
Liters per Cylinder  AGENCY:  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  
ACTION:  Final rule. 
 SUMMARY:  EPA is finalizing emission standards for new marine diesel engines with per-cylinder 
displacement at or above 30 liters (called Category 3 marine diesel engines) installed on U.S. vessels.  
These emission standards are equivalent to those a dopted in the amendments to Annex VI to the 
International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL Annex VI).  The 
emission standards apply in two stages-near-ter m standards for newly built engines will apply 
beginning in 2011; long-term standards requiring an 80 percent reduction in NOX emissions will 
begin in 2016.  We are also finalizing a change to our diesel fuel program that will allow for the 
production and sale of 1,000 ppm sulfur fuel for use in Category 3 marine vessels.  In addition, the 
new fuel requirements will generally forbid the pr oduction and sale of other fuels above 1,000 ppm 
sulfur for use in most U.S. waters, unless altern ative devices, procedures, or compliance methods are 
used to achieve equivalent emissions reductions.  We are adopting further pr ovisions under the Act to 
Prevent Pollution from Ships, especially to apply the emission standards to engines covered by 
MARPOL Annex VI that are not covered by the Clean  Air Act, and to require that these additional 
engines use the specified fuels (or equivalents).  The final regulations also include technical 
amendments to our motor vehicle and nonroad engi ne regulations; many of these changes involve 
minor adjustments or corrections to our recently  finalized rule for new nonroad spark-ignition 
engines, or adjustment to other regulatory prov isions to align with this recent final rule. 
 DATES: This final rule is e ffective on 29 June 2010.
